Default No wife? Ultimate Realism!

Home alone in daytime, I get an idea.

My sub is on the surface, in Sept 44, Northern waters. I've got my four speaker sound system cranked up full, my headphones for when I am listening underwater.

Why am I not feeling the realism? Then it hits me, I'm too comfortable!

Open all the windows and let in that 38 F air, wind and all! It gets so cold I have to put on a jacket. The dog thinks I'm nuts.

Next, I say to myself "Would the captain be sitting comfortably in his chair on deck?" No! So now I stand and pace the room, in the cold and wind.

What realism!!

If I had a wife - no way man! :rotfl:

The real hardcore realism freaks should not shave, shower or change underwear for weeks, then I can almost guarantee you will not get a wife

Dont forget to move your computer to the bathroom and stand under cold shower when in storm/rain.

Don't forget when that pipe in the control room bursts, to bring in the garden hose and turn it on! Oh, don't forget to hang sausages, bacon, and bananas from your ceiling and stack boxes of oranges on the floor.

Remember to encode any communications with the outside world...

If you get DC'd try to shake uncontrollably and throw things around the room.

I you flood and happen to get sunk go drown youself in the bathtub (don't actually do this one or I'll probably get in trouble.)

I was actually already doing most of these things. Now SH3 has just given me an excuse.

One thing I haven't tried that often is, when finishing off a Tanker with the deck gun, I pause the game, dump about a half a can of lighter fluid into the barbecue, and then have a match ready for when the Tanker finally goes up.

P.S. One would be advised to move the computer outside, rather that moving the barbecue inside when attempting this.
